A component that will act as a scheduler and performe actions based
on the events in the schedule.
Load the component by enabling it in `configuration.yaml`
```
scheduler:
```
It will read a json object from the file `schedule.json` in the config dir (`~/.homeassistant`) and create a schedule based on it.
Each schedule is a JSON with the keys `id`, `name`, `description`, `entity_ids`, `events`.
- days is an array with the weekday number (monday=0) that the schdule
is active
- entity_ids an array with entity ids that the events in the schedule should
effect (can also be groups)
- events is an array of objects that describe the different events that is
supported. Read in the events descriptions for more information
